I ordered some shoes recently and had very little faith they would arrive in time for my vacation to Amsterdam, but I was really hoping they would, as my other shoes hurt after a lot of walking.

The day before we left, I checked the tracking in the morning, and it said it could still take two more days to come. But I decided I was just going to just believe it would happen. I kept imagining myself wearing the shoes around Amsterdam, smiling in disbelief that they had come. It was really hard! My mind kept thinking logically that they would probably not come and worrying about contingency plans like having them delivered to a neighbor. Every time this happened, I would choose a happy thought again.

Later on, I checked the tracking again, and even though it did not say ‘Out For Delivery,’ I could see a small note saying that the driver was 27 stops away. I was still skeptical so I put away my phone for an hour and kept only thinking positive and happy thoughts, I imagined myself smiling from ear to ear as I opened the package.

When I finally checked my phone again, they were 7 stops away! They came and everything in my mind came true! I was smiling like crazy and telling my boyfriend the story, modeling the shoes in the mirror like I’d imagined. And then later, I walked around Amsterdam feeling amazing in them! It all came true and it felt so good!
